The Thomas Cynic
United Kingdom
Registrace 14. 11. 2020
Hello there, welcome to my channel. Here, I make discussion-based videos about Thomas and Friends and the franchise and fandom surrounding it. I truly believe that it is more than a brainless kid's show, but there are plenty of videos about that elsewhere.
I generally upload once a week, but between times I sometimes take breaks to focus on longer videos or just to rest. I do both series and one-off videos, and I make videos ranging anywhere from 5 minutes to long video essays! I hope there's something for everyone here, feel free to drop a comment anytime!

Why Duck Doesn't Work (and why OLIVER does)
I know that season 12 is consider bad but for me I would consider it nostalgic sense I grew up with the season
The reason why duck is my fave character because I strongly relate to most of his situations like when his friends picked diesel over him. A very similar thing happened to me when I was in grade 5
Here are two facts you could add. 1. in the tv show adaptation of "Edward and Gordon" even though Thomas and James are at the sheds they still say "they were all bigger than Edward and boasted about it" even though Thomas is smaller than Edward and James is about the size as Edward, this is because Thomas and James were filling in for the roles of 98462 and 87546 aka Alfred and Crovan, since they hadn't made props for neither Alfred nor Crovan they just used Thomas and James to fill those roles. 2 In Blue Mountain Mystery, Fearless Freddie and Duncan were going to appear in the movie but when the crew scaled out the real-life bases of the engines, Freddie and Duncan were deemed "too big"
My Top 5 Would Go Like This: 5: Duke The Lost Engine (1970) 4: Duck & The Diesel Engine (1958) 3: Very Old Engines (1965) 2: Tramway Engines (1972) 1: Enterprising Engines (1968)
Its nit the best movie tbh (yes i watched the video dont even)
Duck for me is that guy next door. He's the one with the most nnormal life of the friendgroup, is the most mature, and knows what kind of engine he wants to be....basically he's what you would call a "control" in science, just an average dude vibing and his adventures come from him just trying to live his life and someting interupts him. I still love him tho
Favorite episodes from each hit season Season 8 Thomas to the rescue Gordon takes charge Squak rattle and roll You can do it Toby Edward the great Season 9 Pecry and the oil panting Respect for Gordon Thomas and the satue Toby feels left out Magic lamp Season 10 James the second best Smooth ride Big strong Henry It's good to be Gordon Emily and the special coaches Season 11 Gordon and the engineer Cool trucking Hector the horrid
I’d say Seasons 6-7 are indeed classic seasons. However. It’s a different part of the Classic series compared to Seasons 1-4.
4:20 nice idea. 👌
In My Headcanon Salty's Pre Sodor Number Is D2986/07002 Because The Latter Number Ending In 2 Was A Nod To The Production Order Of The Episode
the fact that spelling "defense" with a c is grammatically correct angers me for some reason
crazy how sad this guys downfall was
It's interesting to see how The Unlucky Tug (seemingly) started this overrated Duck idea (I'm not saying that he was the first to think or say it, but the idea seemingly picked up more steam after he made his video), for him to somewhat retract it later on
I find it fascinating how successful The Thomas Cynic was able to be in the span of less than 2 years
who made the intro theme for this video? I don't know where to look for it and I love it
If the weaterners were there this would def be my absolute fav thing ever tbh
I Would Rewrite Jeremy, Billy, Bash, Dash, Ferdinand And Nia Into Good Characters Because Billy, Nia, Bash, Dash And Ferdinand Would Been Less Unlikable Characters And Jeremy Would Been Interacting With Harold And Tiger Moth In Thomas & Friends To Making The Aircraft Vehicle Trio
Here's My Rewritten Characters Of Thomas & Friends 1. Jeremy (Less Filler Character) 2. Billy (Less Filler Character Like Jeremy) 3. The Logging Locos (Less Annoying And One-dimensional Characters) 4. Nia (Less Mary Sue Character) 5. Rebecca (Less Happy-go-lucky Stereotype Character)
10:14 What era did u watch of Fireman Sam
I hate the learning segments in this but the story plot is interesting
My two headcannons for why Diesel 10 has Pinchy: Headcannon 1. P.T Boomer created Pinchy for Diesel 10 as a part of some revenge plan (as in the 1999 script) 2. Diesel 10 was an experimental Diesel and was givin Pinchy to help with loading scrap and tree branches into trucks (as seen in the movie "Calling All Engines!")
In My Headcanon Whiff And Scruff's Real Names Are William/Will And Simpson Because Whiff's Real Name Was Named After William Hope The Voice Actor Of Whiff In USA Dub Of Thomas & Friends
This guy was a bit of an arrogant prick, in hindsight.
Wym
My gordon head cannon is that he is actally just a early version of A1 peppercorn whos number was 60114-22 and got send into NWR in 1948 becuase of rising of passengers (i havent really thought this fully but i think its good)
What’s the song used in the intro called?
I like Ducky better🚅🚄🚆🚋
My headcanon is. . . . Percy being a 0-4-0st similar to trojan,but he was never a part of the GWR,he was sold to many diffrent companies,basicly a work horse like trevor
HE ACTUALLY DELETED IT HOLY SHIT
12:45 Bonus fact despite this connection between Sodor and Barrow-in-Furness they have a professional sports team called Barrow FC which the Awdry's, Britt Allcroft, Hit or Mattel never have sponsored this team. Despite having a blue, and white home kit
Might Mac are probably a steamer version of the diesel, since they both can go the same way, no matter which side is pointing forwards.
Another fun fact: Gordon is voiced by Neil Crone in TATMR and the reboot series Thomas AEG.
Fun fact 102: Emily the Emerald Engine is not a character that has been shown in the railway series, and is a complete own character (Only if you don't count the HIT era and only the classic ones.)
Also, i kinda got a funny joke: Why is the main character who is the KING of the railway called Stephen? Because Stephen KING is a real eprson who wrote horror Stories, for example: "IT" And Stephen is a King of the railway, that's why i made up a theorie about Stephen King.
If '13' had a official name, i would liked to call him Jason (Because of the movie and game "Friday the 13th" with JASON Voorhees, it rather be that name)
I always loved this era, despite not growing up with it. Great model work (even tho most of the time is just green countryside with nothing else), underrated music (and in some occasions; better than Mike & Junior), the new characters has some cool basis. I understand that some may not have much of a personality, but I just can't help but love them. Some older characters were handled better than the Classic and Brenner eras. Narration-wise: Michael Angelis was... okay. I don't like it but I don't hate it either. He does have his moments at times. Michael Brandon, on the other hand, is pretty overhated for me. Some of his voices aren't really that great like Skarloey and Rheneas but most of the time he did the lines better than Angelis. Overall, this era is very underrated. It has its flaws but I don't think it deserves that much hate as it usually gets by everyone else. It's much better than the Nitrogen and BWBA eras.
The Great Discovery is an absolute masterpiece!
I don't like this Thomas movie. Why? Because it's freaky. Percy runs away from Sir Topham Hatt and tries to go out of Sodor to the mainland, James was being very troublesome, and there were some very serious arguments. Remember, it's my opinion.
I like Bash, Dash, and Ferdinand. They are one of My Favorite CGI Characters. Also why does everyone Hate the Logging Locos?
I like the idea of Stanley being the Ned Flanders of Thomas.
Knew 86 facts
Although short-lived and technically still part of the Classic series, I kind of wish the Gullane Era had lasted a few more seasons. While not exactly God-tier compared to the Golden Age, it had a certain charm to it and wasn't heavily tainted with the flaws of the later HiT Seasons. Not to mention it had, on average, the best roster of newbies.
I feel like the "lookout for the train" could could possibly be a workman or signal man saying to look out for the train.
I agree with you and Cinders & Ashes UK; by the time Season 5 comes along, many of the main characters are in a very different place to where they were in Season 1. For example, Thomas and Percy loved goofing around and playing practical jokes on those around them in Season 1, which often got them into trouble. However, by Season 5, although they're still cheeky and have the occasional argument (e.g., when 1 of them is already in a bad mood), it's clear that they've grown up significantly and are ready to race into action at a moment's notice. As such, as far as the Classic era's concerned, Horrid Lorry is an uderrated gem and I would seriously recommend that other potential fans check it out.
Its such a tastefully unique outlier of a movie compared to all the others. They tried so many new, different things and it honestly worked
Well, i've noticed Norway is a big fan of British cartoons. Premiere dates in Norway: Postman Pat: 13 October 1982 Thomas & Friends: 15 April 1986 Fireman Sam: Early 1989 (exact date unknown)
The Great Discovery Is My second favourite movie, just behind Journey Beyond Sodor.
you forget this about diesel 10:he was the villain the calling all engines until he turned to a good guy along with the other diesels.
We miss you Thomas Cynic.
Yes we do
Jeremy is an okay but not much to his character and Billy is definitely the worst new Thomas character from season 11 I just hate Billy so much! Great Video! ❤❤❤❤
